I have IBS also. I have diarrhea, but some people have the same thing but with constipation. The best thing is to see a gastroenterologist who can give you a definite diagnosis and relieve any anxiety. You might also check that you are not lactose intolerant. For IBS there is something called the FODMAP diet, also probiotics and peppermint capsules. It's a very annoying condition, but can be managed. xx
I suffer from IBSc and have found that anxiety can make it worse, but then again an IBS flare up can make my anxiety worse, (catch 22), suggest you pop over to the IBS site they are a friendly bunch with a lot of useful information you could possibly utilise.
Thank you for your reply
what works for me is, little meals instead of big ones. Fiber in the evening and plenty of water. Keep away from foods that bother you.
I too have IBS. Anxiety makes it worse. Have to watch what I eat.
